Solidarity with the rare disease community affected by COVID-19

Today as thousands of events place take place around the world to mark the occasion of Rare Disease Day 2020, we share a sincere message of solidarity with the rare disease community who have cancelled, and post-poned their events due to the Coronavirus outbreak.

We share a message that ‘Rare is strong’ to our friends in China, Hong Kong, Italy, Iran, Japan, South Korea and other regions affected by COVID-19. 

The rare disease community worldwide joins together to show support for the communities affected and invite you to participate in Rare Disease Day online using #RareDiseaseDay.
